this is the third hurricane i've covered in my lifetime, andrew, katrina and now this. we are at the point where the population gets furious and they turn on the government. the government can just not handle the huge, huge logistical requirements that happen after a storm like this. could this actually turn on the president at some point here? >> reporter: i don't think so. i think what the president has had the opportunity to do is show americans that he was involved in an effort that the country was rallying behind and do his job in a way that got praise by the keynote speaker at the republican convention, chris christie, very tough critic of the president otherwise. so i don't think many voters are going to blame president obama for what's going on right now, and leave aside the fact that the states in which the difficulties are occurring db new york, new jersey, connecticut are all reliantly democratic states. what is much more important to the outcome of this election, michelle, is what's going on behind me at this afl-cio phone bank where union volunteers are mak

from a public policy standpoint as i did after katrina and other storms when i was active, i said to governors, please, please, take the burden off the consumer and retailer, put in a short-term rationing system. go to odd even purchases. i know it inconvene enss people, but limit the gallon people can purchase. do this for just a period of time it takes to get theissue. people said well get a generator at the gas station. well, a generator at the gas station would have to be very large and wired in advance with all the safety precautions and so forth. but if the telephone lines are down, you can't use credit cards. and the cash register is tied to the pump. so you need a whole electrical system overhaul, not just the generator. and so you need some kind of order in chaos. that's what i'd be saying to governors. >> we're looking -- i guess coincidentally at shell stations around the area with extremely long lines. as we mentioned, you used to be the president and ceo of u.s. operations for shell. is the role of the ceo in this case somewhat limited because many of these stations are
